Nairobi — Kenya yesterday urged Ethiopia to help in negotiating peace for Somalia.
Foreign Affairs PS Peter Nkuraiya said it was in the best interest of Kenya and Ethiopia to have a stable Somalia.
The PS was speaking in Nairobi during the opening of the Kenya-Ethiopia joint committee talks.
"We are both engaged in the Somali peace process. We need to work together to achieve peace in that country," he said.
The Ethiopian delegation is led by Ambassador Konjit Sene-Giorgis.
Somali delegates have been meeting in Kenya for the last 12 months. They are currently at Safari Park as the talks inch towards the crucial stage of power sharing.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and Kenya's President Kibaki launched the current stage two weeks ago.
